In an attempt to not burden ourselves with massive blog updates each month we are going to attempt writing shorter and more frequent posts. This way we can keep you a little more informed of our movements and adventures.

We had never been to Melbourne before and needless to say we were excited to get exploring this city!

Little did we know what was really in store for us and how little we would actually get to see of Melbourne. We had arrived at Perth airport to return our hire car after seeing our old friends Harry and Lucy and were anticipating our next leg of the great Australian adventure. This is where it all started going south. Samuel, thankfully upon exiting the car, projectile vomited all over the car park. Car sickness, we assumed and brushed him down. Unfortunately not, the poor little fella couldn’t stop throwing up during the whole flight.

We arrived at our homeswap home and were greeted by the owner Serena who was staying just around the corner with her parents before jetting off to Bali. She gave us a quick tour, wished us well and said goodbye as Samuel was throwing up in the toilet, quite an entrance!

A lovely gesture from her and way above the call of duty, considering we arrived at 1.30am!!!!

Sadly Samuel did not wake up feeling any better and Sophia had also started throwing up too. Not to worry, a quiet day at home and a good nights sleep should see to this, we are well accustomed to 24 hour gastro bugs and know how to deal with them. But in true Aussie fashion, they do nothing by halves, including it seems their gastro bugs.
